President Yoweri Museveni said Friday that there is no opposition in Uganda that he cannot defeat.
Mr Museveni who is the NRM presidential flag bearer said that the opposition members have no track record of what they have done on national issues.
“There is no opposition in Uganda which I cannot defeat. They have no track record of what they have done on national issues, so what are they opposing? I don’t see a group that has got a correct position in the politics of Uganda today that can defeat NRM,” President Museveni who is campaigning in Kapchorwa said in a statement posted on his social media platforms.
This is not the first time Mr Museveni is making this statement. In 2017, Mr Museveni said there was no genuine opposition in Uganda, describing some of the people who oppose his regime as disgruntled people.
“These are just confused people and a few youths who have no jobs,” Museveni said then.
The president on Thursday concluded his campaign in Bugisu sub-region with a meeting of NRM leaders from Bulambuli and Sironko districts.
He tasked them to mobilize residents, especially the youth, to take advantage of employment opportunities emerging from various developments like the Mbale Industrial Park.
According to the president, the park will create over 15,000 jobs when fully operational.
